Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4,4-Dimethyl-5-trimethylsilylethynyl-2-oxazolidinone (15.0 mmol) and K2CO3 (4.1 g, 30.0 mmol) in methanol (30.0 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The solid was filtered off and washed with ether. The filtrate was concentrated, dissolved in ether (100 mL), washed with water (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), and dried over sodium sulfate. Solvent removal afforded 1.10 g (53%) of 4,4-Dimethyl-5-ethynyl-2-oxazolidinone as a yellow oil: 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.37 (s, 3H), 1.39 (s, 3H), 2.68 (s, 1H), 4.82 (s, 1 H), 6.00 (br s, 1H).
